Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 70.3/100, a mean average of 69.3/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 70.2/100. The standard deviation for this album is 18.0.

I was pretty keen as a teen, but rapidly outgrew this bit of hair metal.

The definition of hair metal. A highly uneven affair but with enough big, dumb, good rockin' tracks to warrant a thumbs up.

Standard, slightly above-average hair metal fare for the day, where the best tracks are the radio hits you know, including a pretty good ballad (i esp. like the "love letters in the sand" lyric) as far as the genre goes.
